Episode 97 – Out of the Aeons – Part 1

We’re sponsored this week by You Shall Never Know Security, an outstanding short fiction anthology from author J.R. Hamantaschen – BUY IT NOW in paperback or for the Kindle! You’ll get the benefit of a great read and support this podcast!

If you liked Marc’s silky-smooth readings and you’re in the Austin area, why not check him out in Charles Dickens Unleashed at the Hideout Theatre, a completely improvised show done in classic Dickensian style.

Man, do I ever miss this podcast when it’s not being offered each week! It feels like it’s been a month! Glad to see you guys back. Congratulations again, Chris, on Albert’s arrival and now that the podcast is back all is right with the world!

I’d never heard of this Churchward guy, but a while ago, I read a Colin Wilson story, “Return of the Lloigor” in a Mythos anthology by Derleth ( i think ) wherein one of the characters was a crazy old British colonel who had written a bunch of books on Mu, I bet he’s based on Churchward.
Also, I’ve totally got that O’Donnell werewolf book. I found it in a bargain bin or something when I was in high school. It’s as terrible/great as you think.

I’m just getting caught up with episodes now, so I’m a little behind. I just listened to the Shadow over Innsmouth episode when you announced your wife’s pregnancy.

What a great amount of information in the first half of a story!
Needless to say that’s great guys!… Hey Ken, the Chateau des Faussesflammes is feacture in the Averoigne’s story «The End of the Story» (Weird Tales, May 1930).
And Chris, don’t mind your present weariness, you’ll forget it once the little wonder starts to read H. P. Lovecraft… o maybe… Friedrich Nietzsche.

Just to be a nitpicker… A book with short stories all by one author is technically a “collection” rather than an “anthology”. Just sayin’ :). Thanks guys, keep ’em coming!

I think it´s time for The H.P. Lovecraft literary podcast to do a “The Whisperer in Darkness”-movie christmas special.

I feel the need to defend the apparent “no vulgar ballyhoo / Cardiff Giant” contradiction. Note that the line specifically says “the art of vulgar ballyhoo had not invaded the field of scholarship to the extent it has now succeeded in doing.”

It’s not saying there was no vulgar ballyhoo, just that it wasn’t as bad then as it is now.

I would love to see a boxing match between the Dispenser of Cheating Privileges and the Repairer of Reputations.
